He's no fool on the hill, for sure

Yup - thats one of the albums featuring Shrieve that i mentioned. The other one by the same band is Visitors. I prefer the first one that you posted though

This is the modern world. Fakery everywhere. The fakery is even fake.

This has to be the smallest and lightest rig i've ever owned

Brian bought some strings and was in and out like a rabbit down a warren, no fuss, no drama, bish bash bosh. Good man

Hah ! There are so many easier filter pedals to set up, i just can't be donkeyed to fight with the things. Chris did well though !

You must have the patience of Job , Chris.

Someone made a decent job of post EQ , and any mistakes could have been sorted with drop ins

Great review, and it's certainly made my mind up in that i hate the thing. That thin sound, and then the unaffected original boomy note coming back immediately after the wah effect would drive me nuts,

Good news indeed. PS was the van nicked from Blackberry Way per chance ?

It seems then, that if you're in the audience watching a band thats uses a PA and the bass is D.I.'d, ...... try and stand in the middle.

Well they certainly have on this bass, since they look entirely genuine, as they have the embossed logo.

Paypal are great for buyers but worse than useless for sellers - just read warwickhunt's post - but even then, someone ripped me off as a buyer and Paypal did nothing for 8 weeks. I eventually got my bank to refund me. Then Paypal decided they'd give me half the money back. Still not good enough, but since my bank coughed up, i actually refunded Paypal. Why you have so much trust in such a gang of cowboys as Paypal, is weird Transferwise are far more trustworthy. If the seller sends you a pile of poo, then i would contact my bank.

I'm sure i read or heard that he was 14 when Hendrix asked him to travel to the UK with him but his mum said NO

Great tone out of that bass though.

Spooky - just relieved Brian of a couple of cabs now. Just his basses to go then Brian will disappear. Delivery in person - great to meet up mate. Dont sell me anymore gear. I'm running out of queens sovs ...

Seen it many times over the decades and never gets old. Shrieve was an awsome tubbist. I have some Santana on CD , and both albums by Automatic Man, ( band involving Shrieve post Santana ) which is a real treasure.

Fabulous - i love this stuff

They should ! If they DO snap together, have some fun getting them apart

I dont know about deeper bass, but a four 8's cab will shift more air and also have a volume incease over a two 8's cab, but of course, you lose the versatility of 2 cabs. As for whether the Faital already has decent deep bass, i couldnt say. I can say that it depends on their design. I used to own two Markbass New York cabs that used four 6" drivers in each , and the low end on them was outrageous, so size is no guide. I guess the low end of those was due to having four of them, so maybe a bigger 2 x8 could achieve that. The TSP's of the Faitals would tell you though, and if mounted in the correct volume cab ...

If you go for PBXN, for cliffs sake, dont get the PBXN magnets near any others. They're bluddy mental - believe me.
